Thanks to Vicky’s sale alert, I was able to finally pick up this navy Edie bag. I pinned it awhile ago and was patiently waiting for a sale. I also had $100 in J.Crew rewards making the purse only $18 – not bad right? See the green on Vicky, sagebrush on Elle, the red on Jean and the beige on Kelly.

It already feels like Spring in California and I’ve been on a pastel color kick. Last Saturday, I went to the outlets and found some pretty Spring arrivals at Ann Taylor factory. I posted them on Instagram but in case you don’t have an account, I thought I would share them on the blog. I realized that everything was either yellow or polkadots 🙂

Polkadot shorts (see on Instagram) $37.49 – size 00P {bar code #13225308}, Yellow chiffon shell (see on Instagram) – size XXSP {style #299427 }

For some reason, there was no tag on my shorts when I brought them home so hopefully the barcode # will still work. The shorts are slightly big in the waist and has a semi baggy butt. I’m hoping a belt will help alleviate these issues. I think these are just adorable and like that they aren’t too short.

Yellow Twist neck dress (see here) $64.99 after 50% off select dresses- size 00P {style #299376}

This dress runs big and I had to slim the sides and waist. FYI – I have it scrunched in the back to make it look better. I fell in love with the twist collar and pretty yellow color.

Yellow Lace shell $48.74- size XXSP {style #300024}

I spent way too much on this lace top. The sales weren’t that great because it was a non-holiday weekend. I won’t be back to the outlets anytime soon so I better make these items work.

Polkadot top $23.86- size XXSP {style #299957}

This was the only item that was truly on sale and found in the clearance racks. I couldn’t help myself and had grabby hands when I saw polkadots and my size. This one is definitely not on the regret list 🙂 If you don’t live near an Ann Taylor factory, you can still call and get it shipped to you for $7.95 or if you have an AT credit card, shipping should be waived.

Which do you like better – the outfit with the white or mint necklace?
